Efficiency    
 

Measurements on a 7-piston bent-axis transformer, performed by Caterpillar and Linköping University showed the potential of the IHT. Efficiencies up to 83% were measured. Calculations showed that with a 9-plunger version efficiencies up to 90% are within reach.
The target efficiencies for the dedicated Floating Cup transformer are set at 90%.
